I made some changes to the original script as people were having issues removing assets from users other than admin. this now asks for admin api for scanning and the owners api of the assets to remove which is used in the DELETE command

Dear @Thoroslives, Can you help me, please?

I've only 2 users: Admin & Normal User

I have 12 Offline Paths:

immich-repair

and 18874 Untracked files:

immich-untracked-files

I've used your script to remove the Offline Paths, but seems it doesn't work. :(

Do you have any suggestion?

I don't know if it is useful to know that before using the "default upload library" I've also tried the external libraries.

Thank you so much for all help you can give me! :)

(.venv) root@miniserver:~/immich-app# python clean-offline-paths.py 
Enter the Immich admin API key: <ADMIN-API-KEY>
Enter the Immich user API key for deletion: <ADMIN-API-KEY>
Enter the full web address for Immich, including protocol and port: http://192.168.1.86:2283

✔ Success!

Are the offline assets for the admin or the other user. As i can see you used the admin API for both scanning and deletion. Try running it again with admin API first the use the other users API as the second prompted one. Let me know how you go

In terms of untracked files have a look at this script which moves them out to a seperate folder where you can attempt to re upload or delete them https://github.com/clumsyCoder00/Immich-Tools/tree/main

Thank you @Thoroslives, I see that all untracked files are from the following paths:

  1. /usr/src/app/upload/upload/
  2. /usr/src/app/upload/thumbs/
  3. /usr/src/app/upload/library/thumbs/
  4. /usr/src/app/upload/library/encoded-video/

But, after to have checked at least 5 paths for the "encoded-video", I didn't found any files.

I think I can't resolve with the script you suggested me. What do you think about?

Thank you so much!

Are those paths all showing as untracked in the repair page?
If so thay script i linked will move them all to a folder for you, just make sure your following the instructions properly

Yes

But which files can the script move if the files don't exist?

If they didnt exist i dont imagine they would show up as untracked files. Thats not my area of expertise unfortunately

Thank you so much @Thoroslives, I'll update you for the offline paths.
